When comparing be2 and h2:

i. be2 is more stable because it contains both bonding and antibonding valence electrons.
ii. h2 has a higher bond order than be2.
iii. h2 is more stable because it only contains 1s electrons.
iv. h2 is more stable because it is diamagnetic, whereas be2 is paramagnetic.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.
